Now's a GREAT Time to Be an MCA Member (As Always!)


Stay in touch with old friends and find new ones when the 2009 Membership Directory is published in December 2008

If you haven't received your request for information that you want included in the directory - you will be contacted soon - So, be on the lookout for the email message and DON'T delete it! There is also an option to have just a basic listing of your name, city, and state listed in the directory. AND, for the first time ever, we're accepting color photos of our members that can also be included with your directory entry! Those will appear at the beginning of the directory and listings of all members will follow on subsequent pages.

Keep your membership active so that you can appear in the directory!

MCA is also taking 4-color ads for the directory for the first time ever, too. If your company wants to thank the Marine Corps for what they do for our country, or if you have another message, please contact LeeAnn at 703-640-0169 for advertising rates.

The directories will make great Christmas gifts, too!

MCA to Assist with Sponsorship of Chambers Award for Outstanding Leadership!

Named for Colonel Justice Marion Chanbers, Medal of Honor recipient for his gallantry in action at Iwo Jima with 3d Battalion, 25th Marines, the Chambers Award is presented annually to a company grade officer serving with the Selected Marine Corps Reserve (SMCR) or on Active Duty as a member of the 4th Marine Division or 4th Force Service Support Group (FSSG). Award recipients are recognized by seniors, contemporaries and subordinates as outstanding leaders.

MCA is proud to include the Chambers Award within the MCA Awards Program and just recently secured the assistance of Booz Allen Hamilton who have agreed to sponsor the award. The award is currently being redesigned and will be ready for presentation at the MCA Ground Awards Dinner in December.
